The first step is realizing you've been programmed...
This is what everyone in America needs to do... Step back and realize that laws don't solve problems. The provide a means of replacing vigilante justice for crimes of malice and in the case of tort, they provide a means of suing for compensation for someone else's negligence.
However, all of the laws required to perform those two functions were written 100's of years ago. It is exceedingly rare that a new law is required to accomplish this rather than just not having an agenda driven judge legislating from the bench requiring a new law to overturn their nonsense.
We need to have entire legislative sessions consumed with taking laws off the books at this point rather than adding new ones. THAT would be "progress".
i'm not advocating, making law from the bench.The only agenda i'm advocating for is somewhere in the layers of laws we have murder/manslaughter and all the deg. and lesser charges, this fits in.....i don't know where, but there are serious charges that could be used with a strait face. I believe there was some disagreement but some of these charges do not require intent or malice. and with a serious prosecutor asking hard question conviction would be possible under the law.
Q. So you thought it would be safe to let your 7rd child shoot an uzi?
A. Well we went to the professionals.
q. Didn't you think it was dangerous to let you 7rd daughter shoot a sub-machine gun?
A.Well we went to the professionals.
Q.Did you research the ffl and the specific firearm chosen to be used by a 7 year old girl?
A. Well we went to the professionals. ( or some other irreverent answer.
Q.did you know that if you type "kid shoots uzi", there is a young man 8yrs old taken from us by negligence?
a. I didn't know we went to professionals
q So you didn't take 15 secs.... to google anything relevant to safety of your 7rd daughter? Where you being negligent?
I could go on and on...A good prosecutor would take the weakness of his case....the 7yr old girl, turn it around and drive it like a mack-truck into the defense, don't even have the child there and charge the parents and display their foolishness for all to see.
I do concede the FFL would have a hard time with this as-well, and a good defense attorney could help both parties
